Together for a cure. Together to end psoriatic disease.

NPF is the center of the psoriatic disease community. Together, we work toward one common goal: to find a cure for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

But we can’t do it alone. It takes a community of people – from the people who walk, run, cycle and play bingo for Team NPF to the scientists in their labs to the volunteers who speak for us in the halls of power – to fund and discover the breakthroughs that will end psoriatic disease.

That’s why we’re so excited about #GivingTuesday on Nov. 27. #GivingTuesday is no gimmick. It’s not just the day that follows Cyber Monday, Stormy Monday, Manic Monday and Blue Monday. It’s a day dedicated not to shopping but to giving – when charities, families, businesses and communities all come together to celebrate and support nonprofits.

This is your chance to help support the National Psoriasis Foundation and programs like our latest initiative, the PsA Diagnosis Project.

Why do so many people go so long before getting a diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis? How can we expect health care providers to provide a diagnosis when they’re missing the most important tool – a test for PsA? If we’re ever going to find a cure for PsA, the first step has got to be the creation of a diagnostic test. Your dollars can help make that test a reality.
